Alessandra Navetta completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Navetta's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- Good health is essential if humans are to accomplish all that needs to be done to have a good, productive life.Access to quality, affordable healthcare is needed to maintain good health. Providing healthcare to rural communities is a problem being faced by many of the states in the rural West, including Colorado. The hospitals in the eastern plains of Colorado are barely able to remain solvent. The state must work with the federal government to assure that these facilities are funded and staffed so that they may continue to provide the services needed to our citizens. As a nurse and attorney, I am familiar with healthcare systems and it will be my priority to work with experts in the field to assure that our healthcare needs are protected.
- Communication is essential for a society to function. Today the internet has become a major method of communication. We conduct business on the internet. Telemedicine is conducted on the internet eliminating the need to travel for hours to see a doctor. The internet has become a means of educating children and adults. However, there are portions of the state that have no or poor internet connectivity. That is especially so in rural areas such as the eastern plains of Colorado. The federal government has allotted billions of dollars for the purpose of improving internet connectivity in underserved areas. I will work to assure that Colorado obtains their share of those funds and distribute them to the areas in which they are needed.
- I support a strong public education system. Just as good health is needed to carry on the activities of daily living, a good education is needed to earn a living and support one’s family. Education takes many forms. There are many different workers needed in a functioning society. That is why supporting post secondary education is important to me. High school graduates need access to affordable education. Often young people do not know what occupation suits them. That is why junior college, trade and technical courses should be available to them. A university education is expensive and not suitable for all students. We must support an affordable, accessible, innovative system of post secondary education.
A movie that I would recommend is “Gettysburg “. It exemplifies the character of Joshua Chamberlain who lead his troops to victory and was a kind, enlightened person. It also depicts the struggles of the Confederate and Union soldiers in command, who were now fighting their friends with whom they had attended West Point. The characterization of General Lee shows an honorable man, loyal to his cause, albeit misguided.
Hard work has always been central to my endeavors and I expect that will continue if I am elected. I intend to listen to the concerns of the citizens of HD 56 and attempt to address them. I have always looked for pragmatic solutions to problems as a mother, nurse and attorney. I will continue to do so if elected.
I don’t recall how long I was employed at this job, but at the age of 16 I was employed as a nurses aide at a local hospital.
Wildfires are a present danger in the arid western states. Colorado has had many periods of drought and the planet is warming. We must be diligent as to the dangers associated with the energy transmission sources being proposed in the eastern plains. A solution must be agreed upon that uses the safest technology available to complete the project and thus minimize the wildfire danger.
These are the brave hard working people of the eastern plains that I will be representing if elected.
